    GPU Overclocking Tool

    Ive got the Asus smart doctor which came with my GTX 260 but i was wondering what other tools/utilities you lot use. ive looked at Rivatuner but you need 'Driver Assignment' enforced which is the same with Asus offerings

    Rivatuner only lets you adjust GPU core and RAM, Asus SmartDoctor allows you to change Shader clock as well So what else, if any is there ?

    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Re: GPU Overclocking Tool

    Does the ATi stuff work with nVidia, and will the MSi and evga stuff still run on an Asus card ?

    I know the EVGA precision works with ATI as I use it on my older rigs, one with HD2900gt and the other x1900xt.

    MSI should be the same.

    Only one way to find out

    Re: GPU Overclocking Tool

    I use Rivatuner to overclock my 8800GT

    I remember I had to manually enter my driver number in the advanced settings somewhere to get it to work. Thread on Guru3d somewhere about it, an issue with a certain OS/Driver set.

    I can also overclock my shaders from RivaTuner, I think it has something to do with what I've written above.
